Went on ebay and was shopping around, found a dell model 3080 for 325 and was happy. I had a birthday meltdown yesterday after buying an open box dead X3D chip from microcenter and I was already mad that I went back and had to buy it full price, words cannot describe how floored I got when I installed drivers

    I was about to say fuck you explode give it to me instead but considering your dead CPU problems I guess not.

    Enjoy your new high end card.

    If he didn’t even know he had a 3090, or knew the difference of it to a 3080, he was never going to use it to its full potential. It’s in better hands with you

    Maybe check if it’s a pre-LHR too. Those things go for a pretty penny last time I checked

  3. Congrats! This happened to me recently, paid for a 3080 and received a 3080ti.

  4. Got my wife’s for free out of the Ewaste. Paid 1300$ for mine on launch.

    That’s what I just sold my 3070 ti for. Good find!

    my buddy paid 2600 for his 3090 got a 4090 a few months later for 1675. wild that’s a steal.

  7. That’s lucky dude congrats and happy belated birthday!

    And I thought my $223 3060 Ti from last year was a bargain.

    I got tipped a 3090ti at work one time, was super grateful

    I traded a base PS4 for a 3090 about 18 months ago, best decision.

    My mommy told me to never hate someone… today.. might be the day. Congratulations

    Wow so happy for you. I haven’t had a reason to upgrade the 4070S yet, maybe some lag on tark here and there but if the future of gaming goes the same route as Ready or Not, I think I’ll be set for a few more years lmao

  13. That happened to me with a cheap 6600 and got a 6700XT. Not as good, but congrats

  14. Been out of the hardware swapping game. How much are 3090s going for today? I remember i bought mine new when it first came out for $1600

    I got one of these a few years ago from my boss for $600. It was a good deal at the time and it’s still going strong.

    Need to update flare…

  16. GirlsCallMeMatty

    It can trade blows with a 5070 so you’ll be good for a whiiiiiile.

    I got on eBay about a year ago and made offers of $325 shipped until someone said yes. The card runs flawlessly. 

    Congrats on your new card. It’s a great card, especially for that price. 

  18. I bought my 3090FE late last year for $275 with a alphacool AIO. It was taken apart down to the board and I think the guy was afraid to reinstall the water block. Thought for sure it would be a black screen but has worked great since I started using it.

    I don’t know much abt this so why is everyone so surprised. How much is that worth?

    i own a 3080 Ti, basically a 3090. My problem is I can’t find anything in my country to upgrade. The difference in price and performance boost is so stupid with 40 and 50 series. I think i need to wait at least one more generation to see better prices

  21. killacamilla

    microcenter sold me a 4070ti instead of a 3070ti for $325, i haven’t been back to that store since just in case they have my picture on some wall or something

  22. HurtsWhenISee

    Should have spoken to someone about it. A lot of times they’ll rectify it since they’re supposed to test them and verify that they work.

  23. CharcoalGreyWolf

    Solid. I solved my EVGA 3080Ti FTW3 for $400 this year and considered it very fair, given I might have been able to get more (but didn’t want to).

    Hope you enjoy it OP.
